Template
Build an amortization analysis for a loan of {principal} at {annual_rate}% annual interest over {term_years} years. Proceed in order: (1) Convert the annual rate to a periodic rate and state the compounding assumption explicitly. (2) Derive the payment using the annuity formula, showing the substitution of values. (3) Construct the first three periods of the schedule showing interest portion, principal portion, and remaining balance — verify the balance declines correctly. (4) Compute total interest paid over the full term. (5) Model one extra-payment scenario: apply {extra_payment} additional per period and recompute payoff time and interest saved. (6) Summarize the tradeoff in plain terms. Verify your payment figure by confirming the final balance reaches zero; if it doesn't, find the arithmetic error before presenting results.
